Who offs thyself at age 72? And by hanging no less! Total insanity if you ask me. Guns have been around for 500 years and from what I hear can be a pretty effective means of suicide – maybe being a martial artist he has a disdain for modern weapons? Or perhaps he was following the True Romance mantra ‘Die Young and Leave a Good Looking Corpse’? Could be, but if that’s the case he missed the former by about 50 years.

Seriously after 72 years on the planet you couldn’t hang in there for just a bit longer and go out with some dignity? If you really want out that bad LIVE IT UP! Start drinking, doing drugs, eat bacon & chocolate sandwiches, take up South Pacific Stingray Swimming – ANYTHING but thine own hand…

And what a slap in the face to his fellow geriatrics, millions of whom are on Medicare/Social Security and would KILL for a chance at Carradine’s lifestyle. The man was already a legend from the 1970s hit Kung Fu and his legacy was only bolstered by the huge success of the ‘Kill Bill’ series. Modern movie success equals big bucks, especially when your director is Quentin Tarantino, so your boy has clearly got money and there’s no doubt a few hundred American dollars in Thailand will net more ‘tuna’ than the Tsunami. In the age of Viagra I don’t need to tell you old timers what a sweet deal that is. Hugh Hefner must be so disappointed…
